Although I'm pretty open-minded, some rules apply to this guild, just like every other. Please read through them carefully before posting anything in this guild.
1. All of Gaia's TOS apply.You guys know full well what I mean.
2. No spam!Please do not post repeat threads. If you are unsure of whether your idea has already been made into a topic, look around! The guild isn't impossibly big. Also, do not make topics like "OMG FRRENSCH ISH T3H SM3XI3ST LANGAG 3V4!!!" or "hey does anyone know who to say (insert word here) in German???" If you love a language, tell us about it here:
http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=1264916 . If you have questions about a certain language, the general discussion for that language is where you need to be. If there is no general discussion for the language you speak/are learning, feel free to make one!
smile But please,
do not make pointless topics that will be worthless after 3 replies. If what you have to say doesn't seem to have anything to do with anything, the Chatterbox might be where you should post it.
3. Speak the appropriate language.For the sake of simplifying things, English will be the language used in most posts/topics. If you want to speak Russian, do it in the Russian General Discussion. The same goes for Arabic, Chinese, and all other languages. Do not go into the Spanish General Discussion and start posting in Swedish. Outside of the general discussions, please try to stick to English. Not everybody speaks the same languages as you.
4. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all.This is pretty straight-forward. If someone has corny Italian, be nice. How would you feel if somebody teased you because of your poor communication skills in another language?
5. No bumping outside of t3h Chatterbox and the News Bulletin.This may change in the future, if we end up having a rather large number of posts. But for the present time, there is no point in bumping outside of t3h Chatterbox (bumping in t3h Chatterbox is done for gold, of course
razz and I need people to bump in the news bulletin so as to attract attention to it - it's very important, after all).
6. Please help me!Talented as I may be, I am not fluent in every language. Therefore, I will have no way of knowing if somebody has said something offensive if it's in a language that I don't know (the only langauges that I speak fluently are English, Russian, and French). So, if you see somebody posting something inappropriate that is not in English, Russian, or French, please pm me and tell me about it >< It's important that I know about these things.
7. Post! Be active! Have fun!I don't expect every to be online night and day. I know that everyone here, myself included, has a life outside of the internet. I don't expect everyone to be able to post every day, or sometimes not even once a week. However, I would prefer that everybody tried to post something at least from time to time. Even one post per month is fine. Just do something. The point of this guild isn't poll-whoring. Don't be shy - if you have questions, ask them! Even if they seem silly or stupid, at least you'll know. Nobody will laugh at you for it (see rule #4 for details). If you have something you'd like to share, share it!
3nodding Others will benefit from your knowledge.
